Simba SC will take to the pitch this Sunday, April 12, at Sheikh Amri Abeid Stadium to face Dodoma Jiji in a CRDB Federation Cup Round of 16 match, needing a win to secure a place in the quarter-finals.
Simba head into the game without a win in their last two Tanzania Premier League matches and without scoring a goal, increasing pressure on the team to rediscover their attacking form.
The last meeting between the two sides in the league ended in a goalless draw, a result that highlights the tight contest expected in today’s knockout encounter.
Speaking ahead of the match, Simba head coach Steve Barker said the technical bench has prepared tactical adjustments aimed at improving creativity in attack.
Barker admitted that the team has struggled to score in recent matches but emphasized that they have been working hard in training to address the issue.
He explained that the main goal of these changes is to ensure the team creates more chances and converts them effectively in order to secure victory.
The match is expected to be highly competitive due to its importance, with the winner earning a spot in the quarter-finals of the CRDB Federation Cup.
